I have read many comments in here about Tamirat. Many of you don’t have the slightest clue of what it means to repent. Many of you in fact were salivating to hear an inside scoop from Tamirat about all the evil deeds he and Meles and Co have committed. You see that kind of appetite and spiritual matters have nothing in common. Some mentioned Paul confessed his participation in the murder of Stephen and others. But, that missed the context. Paul mentioned about that to argue his conversion, that is, to show to the people who doubted his conversion that he was once an enemy of Christ but now a servant of Him. You see Tamirat was not a persecutor of Jesus Christ and His followers. He was simply a sinner and enemy of God just like you and me. And, he said that many times.

Read the story of Barabbas and Jesus in the Gospel of Mathews Chapter 27:17. All of us including Tamirat are but Barabbas. Jesus died in the place of Barabbas, in the place of me, and you. So, we should all rejoice witnessing the power of God onto salvation. Some even wondered what if Meles come forward and accept Jesus Christ. I say Glory to God. In fact, it is my prayer and it should be yours too that even Meles receives salvation which is a free gift of God.

Our theme should be in the forgiveness of sins. John 8:1-11 and John 8:21-24. The message of forgiveness comes through very strongly in the story of the woman caught in. In this story, we have not only Jesus and the woman. We also have “the scribes and the Pharisees” (John 8:2). This is a story about (a) Jesus – the One who gives forgiveness; (b) the woman – the one who received forgiveness; (c) the scribes and the Pharisees -the people who refused forgiveness. Many of you, reading your comments, are like the scribes and the Pharisees. She would never forget the words which Jesus spoke to her: “Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again” (John 8:11). In these words, Jesus speaks of the grace which forgives the sins of the past, the grace which lays claim to our lives in the future. Jesus stresses that those who have been forgiven by Him are to go on and live for Him. That and that is only Tamirat’s debt.

forgive those who have done wrong to you, and i will forgive you. unless you beleave that you have not coumted any sin then dont forgive tamerat layne. Keep asking for the money. In my opinion tamerat leyne is a good exampel how god bring us out off trile and trubulation. His testemony has a lot to do with gods forgiveness and less of what man may think. god bless Ethiopia/Eritria. I love you all with no condition.

Tame
Senetewawek antenanek. There is no half way trip in this serious undertaking. Remember that you are speaking in front of god who knows what is in us.
Confess the atrocities you committed to millions poor Ethiopians for years!! Courageously take responsibility for being a prime instrument of evil and sustained destruction that has docked the country at this perilous end. Then repentance will be full.
Otherwise, the knowledge I have about you prompts me to think that you are now just taking a breath and sheltering yourself from the boggling mental assail until conditions ripen for you to mount the next episode of scandal and betrayal.
I hope we will hear from you soon.

This is for Elsa, grow up. Are you trying to be smart. But your writing makes you as dumb as you are. I am Orthodox christian. I like the comment sent by one of you guys..most of us changed locaton but not our attitude or our out look. So please do not send such a meaningless comments. People like you are the ones who are making all the mess. In any case I really feel sorry for most of you here who are filled with hate…I think you are much better of to confess your sin and promote peace like Tamrat. He changes his life, well and good.. thik about yourself and leave the man alone

I am sorry for I missed the comments that I missed about Tamirat Layine. Had it not been the case of the Oromo,it should have been posted. But because I touched the very core part of what Tamirat did the last decade you erased it. But I also jotted the issue of the Amhara ethnic group whom he massacured and hid responsiblity for the death of the late professor Asrat and the economic vulnerability of the Amhars’ giving hand to the minority TPLF. Tamirat is responsible ands accounatable for the 30,000 Oromo in Nazi concenbtration camps from Mekele under groung to Zewayi and from Didhessa to Showa Robit. He ius responsible for the massacure of innocent Oromo and Oromo refugees. He is also responsible for the enemity he dispersed among the different ethnic groups in Ethiopia. The Amharas’ like the Oromo suffered in the hands of Tamirat Layine and history judges him sooner or latter. He was working as the backbone of the TPLF wiht the so called OPDo and both his party and the teletafies as awhole are judged publicly.

Thank you for not posting. But, as an Ethiopian my vies shpould have been posted. I am Oromo and I am an Ethiopian. As an Oromo and an Ethiopian, my right needed to be respected and the posts need to be posted but the Ethiopian review writers deprived me of my right. Thank you.

But still truth jugdges Tamirat and his Party TPLF.

From Mr.Harer
I am very much glad and agree to read most of the comments. Tamerat can follow any relgion, it is his perssonel issue. But he sould stand infront of justice what he has done so far especilly of killing of innocent poor Ethiopian. I lost my dad, mam and sister because of abuse of his power when he was prime minster. Can you fell it waht it means when you loss your family because of one gay. Otherwise, people can do what ever they want while in power like tamrat confess either in church or mosique. I did not mind of the repetance but should get appropriate punshement from the justice for the worng thing that he has done. it will be a lesson for the rest of us to use the power that we have before lossing it. He should be responsible and should be penished for killing of poor innocent people. Dear readers, I am indeed sure you will share me this truth probaly if you are vitims of his power. How can we just keep silent for someone do some thing wrong to the extent of killing innocent people. Other wise it will be beswu qusel enchet sidedubte and punshiment from our leader will continue since they do not get lesson.

It is wonderful to hear Tamirat Layine’s accepting Christ as his personal savior. That is really wonderful and deserves glorious happness up there in heaven. But he needs justice foe the uncountable sins he committed against innocent Oromo with the TPLF. He was responsible for the injailed 30,000 Oromo. He never escapes for the mass mascure of thousands of Oromo within the last decade. Forgiveness does not mean there is no penalty. He has to publicly ask the oromo people and even his Amhara ancestors for the sin he commited against them. While he was on power the Amhara people were suffering and dying. He sold his Amhara ethnic group into the minority TPLF. He is responsible for the death of the late Professor Asrat and many more Amhara elites.

#197,
Please go back and read my comment; I never said I am an Orthodox Christian nor I said I am an Amhara Ethiopian. Your assumption is totally wrong. Try to take your head out of tribalism. I repeat—as far as I am concerned in my experience, people behave the same regardless what religion they belong to. It is true that some might not drink or eat certain things and some might recite the bible verse from Genesis to Revelation better than others, but when it comes to material things and money in everyday life–people act the same way—me, me, me. God Bless You!!

196.,Tazabioo,
you are absolutely out of mind.
please accept your Orthodox church ugily past history.don’t be hectic by spearding hate and false propoganda.
In my previous comment nothing is wrong,I tried to put your church’s true history.
please read again…
”
I think it is not necessary to go to Rewanda to search example. Why do you forget,what was happened non-Amahara Ethiopian during Hailesilase regime.As you know all haile silase Cabinet was the leaders (priests) of Orthodox church, but they destroyed the property,culture ,language and made many horrific things,they raped women,children infront of their husbands and parents.
But even those opperessed people never preach hate on the Orthodox church, they have tolerance,…god bless them, that is the only way to live together with peace and prosperty.
If you want to see peace and development in Ethiopia forgive eachother, and pray for goverment leaders intead of hate.
God bless Ethiopia and its leaders.!”

Elias you better post my thing if not I will sue in Meles’ court I am not playing, I know for sure he does not like even your eye color.
Anyway I forgot something I heard from my friend that his Tigrean girl friend told him, according to her Pastor Daniel has even tried Birtukan not to be confrontational with the government it can be against god to be unforgiving and to be extreme I am not sure if she is a Pente cult member or not however I have heard some people saying she is a Pente. I know this person who is a local pastor saying he became a Pente during the red and white terror time in jell after 2 years jelling he said he found Jesus and now he is one our local pastors where I live we have five pente churches however each church does not have more than 15 to 20 members they do not like each other for instance the only Jesus members do not like the other cults nor the others like the only Jesus members. In addition one of the church members attend the church service in one of the pastor’s house and he collects money for church service nevertheless since they are using his house they do not know why the pastor collects and they do not know where the collected money goes.
Folks I do not think we understand the depth of Tamirat’s humiliation and what they did to Tamirat even though many of the Pentes are happy he joined one of their cults nevertheless his situation is beyond him it has to concern all of us because it shows how these evil Tigrean Mafia robbed from his dignity they just cut his manhood what a sad story. To me Tamirat displays a syndrome of abused woman’s symptom by her husband or by another cruel man when someone is abused by another person instead of blaming the abuser they blame themself as Tamirat does in his video repent according to Tamirat his jelling was not another cruel mans action against his birth right rather it was god’s desire in this way to bring him to the truth and to his protestant flock. The Tigrean Mafia brought him back to his childhood time they just raped him after they castrated him in order to subdue people like him. I do not think he knows what he is saying he is still in Qaliti Jell he has no idea what he is doing. This Pente cult members are using him even before he sees the day light. Put yourself for a minute ih his place if you were in his shoe and if some pastor comes and tells you you have been freed after now which is after 12 years long and harsh jell time I am sure you would say anything. There is also a rumor that pastor Daniel who is one of the elders or Shimagiles is trying to free other political prisoners after he converted them to Protestantism and convinced Meles and few other high power Tigreans the new converts will not be a threat to the Tigrean Mafia group after they left jell. I have a friend who is not Tigrean but dates a Tigrean girl whose father is a Protestant Tigrean and works with high powered other Tigrean this Tigrean man whose daughter dates my friend told to my friend her father told her this girl pastor Daniel and some other protestant members have a personal relationship with especially Meles, Bereket and Arikebe Ekubay as well as Siyum Mesifin there is another name also I do not remember his name now it is a Tigrean name my friend told me. Pastor Daniel actually have even tried some Derg members also by the way this girl told to my friend there is a pastor who went to Tedy Afro few times she is not sure what happen. I think that will be the 2009 new version of Meles’s video game.

Hello Mr. Tamirat,

For sure, what you have done is not for the sake of your soul!!! Being part of the TPLF thugs, you have choosen this stratagy:
(1) to hide your past wrongdeeds;
(2) and anticipating a cheap popularity among the Protestant community.

What I strongly feel that you have contributed so much for the current pitfall of our country. You have to be accountable for that and still look for the return of robbed huge money to the Ethiopian people. Your move doesn’t give you an amnesty from this clam!!!

I am, however, appreciating your wishi-washi talent in forcasting your rejection by the majority(normally, you are NEBSE BELA!) As you well aware, you are unimportant and a rank-and-file person in the current Ethiopia.

You have also said that you came to know Christ just in recent time. Yes, based on what you did in EPDRF, you were pagan. But if your attempt is to demonize Orthodox reliegion, I think, no protestant claims Orthodox doesn’t know Christ as this religion existed before Martin Luther (Germany).

At last, our Protestant brothers and sisters could not applause your move as your enterrance to their communal doesn’t garantee the truthness of their religion. Rather it paints them with black ink.

Please shut up your mouth and be away from the media!! we are sickening by your attempt to come back to public domain!!

Prime minster is a comical, confused and non-amortaizing empity game.

Religious fanatism serves for those who lost confidence in themselves and primarly in the society. We know Tamrat is ready to kill and steal in the name of Jesus as he did in the name of Prolitariants. Then he denied God and now he denied reason, science and all the values he stood for once.Typical of hipocrat-sociopats. Let him tell that to his religion-crazy funs not to the peole of Ethiopia.

Once a sociopat always sociopat. I don’t mean to shoot the jackal that has already died. This is science not politics. If you dont trust me ask your nearest shrink.I’m dead right.

Tamrat always liked to cry and cheat. Remember when he cried infront of a national TV camera for the lost compatriots in Guna, Gondar. It is all the same game. We all know he is not stupid and won’t wonder, him picking religon as his next easy victim that has a straight entance after a bunkrupted political carrier and low-life criminal background.

Yes,millions of dollars at bank in his daughters name in swizerland that stolen from poor destitute people, he has a reason to cry in ‘joy’ not in greif. Beyond that denying the power of the struggle that carried him to the post of Prime minster is a comical, confused and non-amortaizing empity game.

By the way this person or poster 188 at least he might be in his 60s age wise nevertheless he talks unbelievable lie what a lose of generation has fallen on our hand I understand now why we are lagging behind everyone and if we take an insult from the rest of the world society we should put the blame on people like him and Meles as well as the new confused Pente Tamirat etc.. They are the one who are holding us behind from progress. They have neither fairness nor truth on their frozen mind. How a self claiming true christian lies this kind of small and unbelievable chip thing. Does he or she believe all of us are idiots like him.

Folks: Some of you seemingly knowing this guy I think that you may be right with regard to your comments to a bigger or lesser degrees.

But I am personally impressed and more than pleased to read the short but out of the box view point fowarded by Adabay who in my humble opinion correctly claimed that the issue may neither be about politics nor about religion alone but can also be the story of a mortal human transformation and struggle for survival.

Thanks a lot Adabay for taking the issue out of the box and indicating the world of all possibilities.

I am not a religious person myself too, but I respect all religions and faith groups in as much as they refrain from causing harm to others but keep to the spiritual welfare and physical well being of their respective followers.

What is the big deal FOLKS if spiritually, physically and psychologically embattled, cornerd weak individuals and groups take to their religion and associate with the all mighty, the omnipotent, omnipresent empowering great GOD, whatever that means and wherever that might be or not be?

Folks, this guy might have experienced exceptional and extreme tragedies which none of us may not be able to imagine even in our life time and beyond. I have never seen him live nor even his picture before this video presentation but this is heart breaking as far as I am concerned.

What kind of government and what kind of brutality is able to completely crush basic human pride and elementary human degnity in such a shocking manner or is it basic and routine method of interactions in the form of exorcism, etc.(driving Satan out of the troubled soul and replacing it with a caring devine?)among some religious communities? Hmm…

Adabay says:

This has nothing to do with poltics guys. It is about human transformation. I am not a member of any any church or or religious institution, but this has led me to think “what could have he exprienced to be so changed tremndously?”. We are so obsessed with poltics and filled with so much hatred tha we can not see life beyond politics.
